Many believe that, in the past, he and Italy had a similar story to their 1ps. Holy Rome grew to love Italy, and told him almost instantly. When he did, Italy laughed. He hated Holy Rome, or at least that's how it appeared to be. He did in fact love him too. Some believe that Italy actually stalked Holy Rome (In a way similar to 1p Belarus and 1p Russia.). But either way, they did both love each other, did both have good times together, and of course, did both miss each other when Holy Rome left. (If you bring Holy Roman Empire up around him, this is one of the few things that can make 2p Italy cry.)

It is common for 2P!s to be portrayed as murderous, sociopathic and possibly insane. To most, they are a darker version of the original Nations. However, because the Original Nations can be portrayed the same way by the fandom, how much hold this has depends on the person making the story.

2P! Holy Rome does not have murderous traits interpreted in the fandom, yet.
